MAKES 6 SERVINGS

This recipe is a refreshing twist on cantaloupe and includes ginger, which can aid in digestion
and often helps alleviate nausea.

1 large cantaloupe
1 tablespoon chopped
crystallized ginger
1⁄2 teaspoon ground ginger


1. Cut the cantaloupe in half. Scoop out the seeds and cut the flesh
into chunks. Sprinkle the crystallized and ground ginger over the
cantaloupe and stir. Chill thoroughly before serving.

2. Stored in a covered container in the refrigerator, leftover Gingered
Melon will keep for up to 2 days.


Note: To remove the rind from the cantaloupe, place the cut side of the
melon on a cutting board. Use a chef’s knife or serrated knife to carefully
cut off the rind, starting from the top of the melon and working down to
the cutting board, rotating the melon as needed. Make sure to secure the
melon with your opposite hand and keep your fingers tucked away from
the knife’s edge.
